An insanely long meme from mamcunluna, which I'm editing because..insanely long meme. So if I don't like a question? It's gone.
Before I start -- two funny news items via the daily dot, and no I didn't link them, you will have to go hunt down the links on your own.
1. Lindsey Graham thinks it is inappropriate that Trump is tweeting about Comey and Russia.
Me: Isn't everything he's tweeted about since he has been elected been inappropriate? I mean seriously, shouldn't someone have taken this man's twitter account away from him by now -- if just to maintain the security and dignity of our country? I find bewildering this has not happened. How hard is it to take away the POSTUS twitter account? I mean celebrity manager's have done this to wayward celebrities.
2. JFK wanted someone to stop his mother from contacting world leaders before alerting him to it first. LOL! Apparently wayward family members is problem going back a ways.
Now, the meme from hell...which may not be once I get done with it.
